Notes:

We have virtually no information on Paul Sampson's life in Australia except for his death. We don't know why, when or how he came to SA, or what else he did here. There are references to a Paul Sampson in Broken Hill, which may be relevant: Broken Hill was booming at the time, and Paul was a miner.
